Cloudy/light rain, 70 degrees, uh would that be 100% humidity?
4.5 miles - Lindel Loop
It was raining, kind of. I had an early morning appointment. And being wet is really not a lot of fun. So I cut the ride short today. I just wanted to get out so that I keep up the habit of getting out everyday (23 days now)
Here are some photos of my favorite waterfall during a brief lull in the rain.

Sunny, 83 degrees, 70% humidity
8 miles - entire loop of Forest Park
Wow what a scorcher today! We really worked up a sweat today. We rode the Skinker Hill again today. But this time down the hill at 24 mph. That was fun. (Oh and apparently I'm not the only one who talks to herself when exercising and trying to get up the hills. :) )
We rode through the Kennedy Forest which is shaded by some really beautiful and large trees.
Today makes 3 weeks on the bike. Thanks for looking.

partly cloudy, 75 degrees, 79% humidity
6.5 miles - West side of the park including the Skinker hill
Up the hill again. Today Peter came along with me and I really enjoyed the company. We biked as far as usual, we just spent a few more minutes looking at personalized bricks in front of the new World's Fair Pavilion fountain. It's always interesting what people inscribe for posterity. There were a lot of really sweet dedications, but one of my favorites was "Nadie espera la inquisicion espanoli." (Forgive the lack of accents - I can't figure out for the web... the spelling is that which was on the brick)
Today makes a full week of the "The Bike Camera" blog. I just want to say I really appreciate the time everyone has taken to check into this blog. Thank you!!

Sunny, 75 degrees 69% humidity
7.5 miles (I think) Skinker/ west loop of Forest Park
Today I made it up the Skinker Hill. One mile uphill. Ugh. I'm sure people thought I was a little weird as I talked my way up the hill. "You can do it. Up the hill. Beat the hill." Plenty of satisfaction when I made it to the top.
It was a beautiful morning in the park. There were a lot less people out than I expected.
The fountains were running in the Grand Basin again - so I had to take a photo. Some other random macro flower photos from around the Muny.

6.5 miles - Forest Park planetarium route
It stormed badly last night and you could see evidence of it in down tree branches and huge mud puddles on the path. Let me just say, going down hill at 20 miles per hour though a mud puddle is not a pleasant experience. I'm sorry to anyone that happened to be on the path at that time. :)

Cloudy. 72 degrees. 91% humidity
8 miles - The ENTIRE loop of Forest Park (aka some really big hills)
I biked with the papa this morning. He has an odometer on his bike, so I learned that a stretch of path I thought was 2 miles is really only 1.5 miles. But that's okay, we made up for it today with the large hills on the south side of the park. He says he's getting me trained for the mountains of Austria. :)
We were really moving today, so I didn't get my photo until the end. Look and all the nice grime I picked up from today. :)

Cloudy skies. Rain clouds on the horizon. 67 degrees. 6 miles. North Forest Park loop.
Bought an odometer from Amazon. It arrives July 28th. Looking forward to having better stats on the blog.
When I stopped to take my photo of the day, I struck up a conversation with a bird watcher. She was listening to the different bird songs to identify them and was intrigued by the song of a younger bird that had not fully learned his song. (I can identify a lot of bird by sight but I have no talent at identifying their songs - unless of course they are a parakeet. :) )
Still having fun with the macro feature of my p&s camera.

Sunny, 70 degrees. 6 miles. East Forest Park Route.
I had company today (Peter and Manfred "the papa") The weather was great and the park looked amazing.
Below are photos of The Grand Basin (unfortunately some of the fountains were turned off) and Art Hill.
